Tommy thinks for a moment, trying to remember whether or not he's ever encountered anything like this in his own history. He finds that he can't recall anything off the top of his head, but more than a few battles do give him at least a general idea. The solution that first jumps to mind is the most logical one that he can think of -- only problem is, he has no idea how to make it work here.
"An antidote," he says slowly. "Up until this point we've been using something that has to be individually transmitted from person to person. But in my not inconsiderable experience, a lot of the time the only way to defeat an enemy has been to best him at his own game. So to beat a virus, maybe we need to start thinking, and more importantly acting, like one ourselves."
He takes a deep breath. "We need something, a cure or antidote, that will not only counteract Daemon but that has the ability to spread as rapidly as she does. Something that'll neutralize her -- like force-feeding the 'Net a really big antacid tablet." Tommy grimaces. "Though if we haven't got anything like that on hand... I don't think it's something we really thought about needing."
